I chose to do the Kite Festival. Unfortunately it was the only event that spoke to me!

The background is gesso painted on water colour paper then painted, the blue is acrylics and the green is Twinkling H2O's, it does have a bit of sparkle to it. I then stamped a flourish in metallic blue across the sky to give 'wind' movement. You can't see it in the scan. I stamped the asian images on Basic Grey paper that has a cherry blossom pattern to it, cut them out to make kites, attached gold metallic thread for the string and blue floss for the tail and attached them to the page. The text is cg. Hope the recipient likes it!
